Healthy Chewy Oatmeal, Raisin, Pecan Cookies image

This is a healthy low-calorie version of my original recipe. This recipe uses lower calorie ingredients such as Splenda Sweetener, Splenda Brown Sugar, and wheat flower. These cookies are plump, chewy, and full of crunchy pecans and raisins. The honey really sets if off with a unique taste. Once you make these cookies with the honey in them, you will never want to make oatmeal cookies without honey ever again! And it can be easily altered to your liking by changing the add-ins from raisins & pecans, to just about anything you want (walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, etc).

Time 27m

Yield 36 Cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup Splenda granular
1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
1/3 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup raisins or 1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup pecans, chopped or 1 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or almunim foil (butter foil).
  • OPTIONAL: Soak 1 cup of rasins overnight in water to make them nice and plump.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt with a fork.
  • In a seperate large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars in with an electric mixer until fluffy. Then beat in honey, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the large bowl while beating on low.
  • Stir in oats, raisins, and pecans.
  • Drop batter by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing mounds 2 inches apart. Flatten mounds only slightly if you want a fat, chewy cookie; or flatten mounds more if you want a thinner cookie.
  • Bake cookies until the tops start to turn golden brown, about 11-12 minutes.
  • Cool for 3-5 minutes on cookie sheets, then move cookies to a cooling rack.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them nice and moist.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oats. I always have a bag of oats in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can make with them.

I'm not usually a fan of raisins in cookies, but I loved them in these. They added a nice chewy texture.
